- Open Road Integrated MediaFrom a New York Timesâbestselling author, Charlotte and Thomas Pitt must solve the case of a young gentlemanâs sordid murderâbefore an innocent man hangs.
ÂThe naked body of an aristocratic youth turns up in the sewers beneath Bluegate Fields, one of Londonâs most notorious slums. But Arthur Waybourne had been drowned in his bath, not in the Thames. More shocking still was that the boy had been sexually violated and infected with syphilis before he was murdered. Despite Inspector Thomas Pittâs efforts to fully investigate the crime, the family closes ranks, stonewalling Pitt, leaving him to wonder what they are hiding. All evidence points to Arthurâs tutor, Jerome, as the murderer. The courts agree and Jerome is sentenced to hang. Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, donât believe the answer is so simple. But if not Jerome, then who molested and infected the boy?ÂTo learn the truth, Charlotte uses her familiarity with the upper classes to draw aside the curtain of lies, while Pitt defies his superior and the boyâs family to follow a trail that leads him into the foulest streets of London through a web of deceit involving male prostitution and pedophilia. In a race against time, Thomas and Charlotte must find the real killer to save Jerome from the hangmanâs noose. - Open Road Integrated MediaThomas and Charlotte Pitt must discover the truth of a young gentlemanâs sordid murderâor an innocent man will hangÂThe naked body of an aristocratic youth turns up in the sewers beneath Bluegate Fields, one of Londonâs most notorious slums.
